The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) "Cache to Eagle" series is a National program to highlight past Eagle Scout projects. This is one of the first "Cache to Eagle" for the Cape Fear Council!
Cape Fear Council is a smaller council with 2000 registered youth as of Oct 2023, and is always looking for more.
For Eagle Scout, and in addition to all of the typical Scout skills, badges, and having lots of fun doing outdoor activities, an Eagle Scout candidate has to come up with their own project, coordinate resources, and provide leadership. This is in addition to performing traditional community service for each prior rank they have obtained up to this point.
In the vicinity of this cache (at Growing Change [501c3] farm, located at the old prison), you would find an electrified fence placed to protect the farm’s animals/livestock from being attacked by the numerous packs of stray dogs living in the area.
